A projectile for scattering munitions, wherein the projectile comprises: a plurality of individual munitions (4) disposed axially in a separable manner in a single stack, said munitions being generally flat in shape and having shaped upper and lower surfaces which are complementary to enable the stacked munitions to interfit; maintaining means (5) for fixing together the munitions in the stack to constitute a stack which is undeformable against axial and transverse forces, thus providing a self-supporting structure for constituting the body of the projectile; and release means for simultaneously unfixing all the munitions from one another and enabling them to be scattered.

A projectile for scattering munitions, wherein the projectile comprises: a plurality of individual munitions axially aligned in a separable manner, said munitions being generally flat in shape and having shaped confronting surfaces which are complementary to enable the adjacent munitions to interfit

A projectile for scattering munitions, wherein the projectile comprises: a plurality of individual munitions axially aligned in a separable manner, said munitions being generally flat in shape and having shaped confronting surfaces which are complementary to enable the adjacent munitions to interfit; a nose element disposed at one end of the axially aligned munitions; a base element disposed at the other end of the axially aligned munitions; maintaining means for fixing the aligned munitions, the base element, and the nose element together in a structural stack in which the munitions participate as load carrying members thereby assisting in retaining the stack undeformable against axial and transverse forces in flight and providing an integrated, self-supporting structure constituting the structural body of the projectile; said structural stack being defined by an outer diameter formed solely by the outer surface portions of the aligned munitions and the diametrically outer extremeties of said nose and said base elements to thereby exclude the use of an external casing means; and release means connected with the maintainin means for simultaneously unfixing all the munitions from one another and releasing the munitions from load carrying relationship in the structural stack to enable them to be scattered over a target area.
